Funny how some of the SP+haste+crit pieces in Restoration T8 and T9 sets are essentially BiS items for Elemental Shamans who don't need the hit from Elemental tier. To be honest, I think it's kinda silly that several Resto-pieces have the same stats as Elemental except for crit/haste instead of hit. Sure, hit rating is the best stat for Elemental before being capped, but after that, it's useless. This means that Elemental Shamans will likely get an advantage from using this item (or a Resto T8 item instead of full Ele T8) instead of an Ele T9 piece with hit once they have the Elemental 4-piece bonus.

So I think it would make more sense with some a specific healer-stat on the Resto-items except for the exact stats that Ele Shamans would like to have on some of their tier. MP5 is the most obvious, though I guess it's kinda boring and often not that good. I will just feel silly about eventually buying a Resto item for my Ele Shaman. In Resto T9, only the chest hasn't got MP5, though.
